Nike Korea is celebrating its 5th anniversary for SNKRS later this month and to celebrate, a South Korean-exclusive colorway of the Air Max IVO low-top sneakers Low is dropping for the anniversary which is inspired by Korean street food tents and stalls called Pojangmachas.

The sneaker uses a white leather base with a scott red which looks to be inspired by tteokbokki or yellow rice cakes with the lace dubraes and Nike branding on the tongue tag seen in green, inspired by scallion which is typically used as a garnish on the popular dish. The heeltab is seen in white with the rear heeltab seen in the same scott red made from canvas, which is typically used on the tents and stalls of pojangmachas. The insole features graphics of tteokbokki and fish cakes respectively with a Sail midsole and Ibaka finishing off the sneaker.
